The Vampire Council is a group of chosen Vampires that are always seen with the Vampire Elders. They usually wear elegant robes and civilized outfits.

By the end of the 14th Century they serve as a kind of a ruling organ of the Coven with Viktor at the top. At the time there are twelve seats on the Council but it is not stated if that count includes the presiding Elder.^[1] The notary, a position held by Andreas Tanis at the time, is present during council but does not hold a seat. The regent, a position held by Kraven at the time of the first movie, most likely does not hold a seat but since being tasked to carry out the will of the Council may be allowed to attend and speak before them.^[2]
